David His second public murder of his colleagues
David suddenly realized that he was standing on thin ice. If he was slightly careless, Joab standing on the shore would ruin the thin ice without any mercy and watch David sink into the bottom of the lake. He had just killed the son of David without mercy, and the entire army was in his control, leaving him with scruples, leaving only the name of the monarch. From the eyes of Joab, David saw the shadow of death, shuddering, and only strong spirits, walked down the tower and consoled the soldiers. The loyal thirty warriors soon gathered around David to let David regain security.
The tribes of northern Israel heard that Absalom had died and, by the previous coercion by Absalom, sent representatives to David to discuss his return to Jerusalem. The tribe of Judah, to which David belongs, has been jealous because there are too many people to follow Absalom, fearing to be liquidated and connected. When David looked in his eyes, he sent people to the elders of Judah to discuss with them, and appointed Marshal Amasa, who was under Absalom, to succeed Joab as the commander of the whole army.
When Judah saw that David did not care about the suspicion, and was generous and kind, and actually stayed as the Marshal of Absalom, they were greatly moved, and sent someone to ask David to return. When David saw the time was ripe, he led his men and crossed the Jordan River again, but unlike the last time, the two sides of the river were filled with the people of Judah who were greeted, even including the officials and elders who betrayed him when he fled. We. Although David’s heart is mixed, he accepts everyone with harmony.
After crossing the river, the group went to Gilgal. The representatives of Israel had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw David, they found that David had been squandered by the children of Judah. They saw the tribe of Judah preemptively rebelling, and now they have repented first, and they swayed on their own territory, and they could not help but hate new hatred and clamor with the representatives of Judah. The tribe of Judah took David as his own family and could not bear it. It was harder than the northern tribe.
At this time, there was a Benjamin, named Sheba, who was with the dead King of Saul. When he saw the horror of the northern tribes, he took the opportunity to make a chaos. He blew the horn on the mountain and said to everyone: "Down with David. Let us not follow him, the Israeli brethren, let us go home." The people listened, as if suddenly awakened, they followed him. In this way, Gilgal has only representatives of the tribe of Judah.
When David saw this, he immediately set off for Jerusalem and sent the new Marshal Amasa to quickly summon the entire army of Judah, and ordered him to assemble in the day after tomorrow. Amasa took the lead, but failed to bring the soldiers back to the city as scheduled. David is in the heart, and Jerusalem is like a lonely city at this time. If there is any unexpected event, David will no longer have room to flee, because the old Joab will be robbed of the army, and there will be resentment, but the new coach Amasa will hold important positions. But it is not working.
David had no soldiers, but he was helpless to the army’s general, Joab’s younger brother Abishai, saying: “There is more chaos in the north now, and the situation is more critical than in Absalom. It’s not too late, I will send you to my ban. Go to annihilate his rebel army, or if he grows up in the north and occupies the city, he will end up suffering from infinity."
Abishai then took the ban of David to the north of the city. Although Joab was no longer a marshal, he also went with him. The team quickly arrived in Gibeon, but it happened to meet Amasa in the lead, and the time agreed by David was already more than a day late. Joab saw Amasa, burst into laughter, and hurried forward to meet. As he approached, the sword he wore at his waist suddenly fell from the scabbard to the ground.
Joab bent over and picked up the sword with his left hand. When he stood up straight, Amasa had stepped forward and embraced Joab with open arms. Joab said with a smile: "How are you brothers?" Then he stretched out his right hand and held Amasa's beard and kissed his cheek. Amasa was about to return, and Joab’s left hand suddenly stabbed the sword into the belly of Amasa, and pulled it with a force, pulling out the sword and leaving.
Amasa was in the same place, subconsciously hugged the belly of the hole, and looked down at the bloody intestines to get rid of the cockroaches, falling to the ground, warmly splashing on his feet, splashing bloody red dust. He looked up at Joab in confusion, but could not see the answer. The darkness quickly caged his eyes, and the strange sense of lightness pulled him to the ground.
Joab killed the political opponents, no longer had the worries of the future, he regained the rank of the marshal, and commanded the entire army to chase the rebels of Shiba. Who in Israel did not know the brutality and fierceness of Joab, and heard that he led the troops and soon fell apart. Shiba was helpless, fleeing with his own buddies and fleeing to the city of Abila where the tribe was located. Joab quickly caught up, surrounded the city group, ordered a unit to build a land to attack the outer city, and another unit digging the tunnel to force the inner city.
Seeing the city of Abila can be broken, and the people in the city think of the upcoming massacre. Joab was unable to hold his excitement, and he was supervised and attacked the city every day. One day, a soldier came to report an old woman on the wall to talk to Joab. Joab was curious and went to the city.
The woman in the city looked calm and said to Joab: "Adults, people used to say in ancient times, 'If you go to Abila to ask for advice, the problem will be solved.' Our people in this city have always loved peace in Israel. Loyalty, why did you destroy this great city and devour the Lord's inheritance?"
Joab praised the woman's courage and replied earnestly: "I don't want to destroy this city at all. It's just because Shiba betrayed King David and hid in this city. If you hand him over, I will retreat."
The woman said: "In this case, please wait for the adults. We must throw his head from the city to you."
After that, the woman turned and left, disappearing into the twilight of the sky.
David’s last fight before his death
The people in the city of Abila killed the leader of the rebels, Sheba, and threw his first class outside the city as the old woman said. When Joab saw it, he took advantage of the city and took the soldiers back to Jerusalem to report to David. David had already heard that Joab had killed Marshal Amasa, who had just been in office for a few days, and saw that Joab had returned to the city since he was reinstated. He had no choice but to stay with him and continue to be the commander of the whole army. . The whole country of Israel was settled down, and the civil strife caused by Absalom gradually subsided.
Internal disturbances are determined, and external diseases are regenerated. The Philistines took advantage of Israel’s civil strife and invaded again. There were four giants in the army, all of whom were descendants of Goliath that David killed. One of the sons used a spear and pointed seven pounds, and the other had six fingers and six fingers. The four giants avenged their father's vengeance, tempted David to personally attack, surrounded David, and one of the giants slashed David. At the end of his life, David’s general, Abishai, rushed to the front, killing the giant, and taking the troops to dispel the enemy and solve the trap of David’s trap.
Since then, David has requested the soldiers not to go out in person, but to direct strategic deployment in the capital. The Czech newspaper quickly came, and the other three sons of Goliath were killed by David’s sergeant. The Philistine was defeated again. Israel’s land was expanded unprecedentedly and its national strength was unprecedented. David is fascinated by the war report, and his heart is full of emotions. He recalls his life and his life. Although he has experienced the alpine valley, he has always been protected by God. He wrote a long poem to praise God. He wrote: "The Lord is my God, my rock." And the shield is the power and fortress to save me, and it is my refuge."
After this incident, David was old, his energy was weak, his body was cold for no reason. If he stood in the cold autumn and shivered, he had to lie in bed, and he could still cover a few quilts and still get cold. The servants were in a hurry to find a beautiful woman in the country, looking for a beautiful girl named Jabissa, bringing her into the palace, letting her take care of David's living, sleeping next to David, warming David with his body temperature. body of. David's condition slowly eased.
David naturally thinks about the aftermath and the succession of the throne. He can't help but recall God's promise to him decades ago: "After you die, sleep with your ancestors, I will set up your descendants to take over your throne and make him strong. He will build the temple for my name, and I will make his throne stand forever."
David also thought that after the birth of his son Solomon, the prophet Nathan came to congratulate him and told him that God gave Solomon a name called Yedidia (meaning God loves it). David thought of it here, and settled down, called the pen and ink, set up A last word poem, which has a sentence: "God made an eternal covenant with me. This is a safe and secure one. He will save me and fulfill my wishes."
So suddenly one morning, the palace was quiet, David was lying in bed, and there was a girl next to Jabissa. Suddenly there was a report from the insider to see Shiba. David earned his body and let Beersheba come in. When Shibaba looked confused, he hurriedly bowed down and bowed down and said to David, "My lord, you have vowed by the Lord to promise that Solomon, the son of the courtier, will inherit your throne. But now Adonijah has I am king, and my lord and my king still don't know."
David was shocked. Adonijah was his own four sons. Since the death of the three sons Absalom, Adonijah has been ranked in the position of "eldest son." This sudden news made David suddenly notice the child who had never been taught. "How can he mess?", David muttered to himself.
When Sheba looked at David's suspicion, she couldn't help but shed tears: "He slaughtered many cattle and sheep and fat calves and sacrificed them. They went to the throne and invited the princes, Abiathar priests and Marshal Joab, but did not invite you. Sermon Solomon. My lord, my king, Israel is watching the country, waiting for the king to appoint who will inherit the throne. Ask the king to decide, otherwise, I am afraid that after my return to the ancestors, my son and I will die in Solomon."
David listened and hurriedly sent people to collect intelligence. Suddenly there was a servant who reported to the prophet to ask for it. David signaled that Sheba was temporarily shunned and called the prophet to come in. Although the crane was flowing and graceful, he looked down and bowed down. He said to David, "My lord, my king, have you announced that Adonijah will inherit your throne and sit on your throne? They slaughtered many cattle and sheep and fat sacrifices, and hosted the princes, Joab, and Abiathar the priests. They were shouting around him: 'Long live the king of Adonijah!' Adonijah did not invite The servants, me, and the priests of Zadok, did not invite your banned army governor, Benjamin, and your servant Solomon. Is this the will of my lord and my king? The king has not said to his servants who should inherit the throne."
When David heard this, he no longer suspected, and he knew that the situation was in jeopardy. Not only did he and his son Solomon hang on the line, but the country’s survival was also in the midst of a thousand miles. He earned his spirit, called Ziba to re-enter, and said to her, "I swear by the Lord God who saved me from all suffering. Your son Solomon will inherit the throne today and sit on my throne."
After the departure of Beersheba, David summoned the priest Zadok, the prophet Nathan and the guard Benaiah, and said, "Let me lead my entourage, and escort my son Solomon to Gihon, where he is anointed and he is king. You To blow the horn, scream: "Long live King Solomon!" Then you have to come with him, he will be enthroned in the palace and sit on my throne."
The group went to the scene and the palace was quiet again. It was already afternoon, and David was exhausted after the accidental horror, and it was difficult to breathe. He was buried in a thick quilt like a piece of dry wood. He knew that if there was another accident this time, he could no longer run.
"God, will you let me die quietly on the bed?"
The crisis after David’s death
The palace was surprisingly quiet, and Jabesha sat by the bed, silently holding David's dry, cold palm. David sank on the bed and listened to the movement outside. If the four sons of Adoniya take the advanced palace, then he will be in bed, because Marshal Joab has already turned to him. If Solomon, the youngest son, robs the Grand Palace, he may still see God’s promises, because he has entrusted him with the task of building the temple.
Suddenly picked up in the city, there were vague cheers coming and going. David listened carefully, and there was a horn horn, accompanied by a whistling sound. The ground seemed to be drummed, and the fluff was like a pulse. The palace gate was suddenly opened, and the insider hurried into it, whispering a few words in David's ear. David was overjoyed and gestured to Jabissa to shun. The priest Zadok, the prophet Nathan, and the banned army governor, Benaiah, were brought in by the servant and bowed down to David. They said loudly: "Solomon has been enthroned. May the king's God make Solomon was more famous than King David, making his kingdom stronger than the king's kingdom."
David listened, tears overflowed his eyes, his beard shivered slightly, and his energy was flowing in his body like a stream, he earned his body and fell down on the bed to worship God and said, "The Lord of Israel, the Lord, is to be praised because He has let me see it. I saw my heirs ascended the throne today."
Solomon then came in and saluted David at the bedside. Immediately there was a military sentiment: Adoniya’s next group of people heard that Solomon had become enthroned, panicked, and immediately made birds and beasts, leaving only Adonijah in the same place. When Adonijah was afraid of Solomon, he ran back to the city, went to the tabernacle of God, seized the corner of the altar, and took refuge by the majesty of the Holy Land. He said to others: "I want Solomon to promise not to kill me. Will leave here."
When Solomon heard the information, he smiled and said, "If he is a loyal person, he will be unscathed; if he seeks evil, he will die." So he sent someone to take Adonija from the altar and lead him into the palace. . Adonijah bowed down to Solomon and bowed to him. Solomon said to him, "Go home." Adonijah, after worshipping Shane, got up and went home.
So Solomon, through the assistance of several fathers and ministers, successfully ascended the throne, and the Queen worked to deal with major issues and thoughts, and gained popularity, and soon consolidated the kingship. David saw that Solomon had a chapter in his work, and he removed the last trace of care in his heart. His physical strength was like the dry water at the bottom of the lake. When David knew that his time of death was near, he called Solomon to the bedside and entrusted him with a few important things.
Regarding faith, David said: "I will go the way that everyone will go. You must be strong, be a great husband, obey the words of your God, the Lord, and follow His Word. Then, no matter where you go, All will surely prosper. The Lord will fulfill the promises that have been given to me: 'If your children and grandchildren are careful and loyal to me, your dynasty will be passed down from generation to generation.'"
At first sight, Solomon nodded and remembered that David also mentioned the construction of the temple: "My son, I have gone through all the hardships and prepared 3,450 tons of gold, 34,500 tons of silver for the temple of the Lord." And countless copper and iron. I have also prepared wood and stone. There are countless skilled craftsmen in the country, and the time is ripe, you can start construction of the temple. May the Lord be with you."
David also mentioned the personnel arrangement and said: "You know how Joab had treated me. He killed two marshals, Abner and Amasa, and killed them as enemies in the battlefield during the Taiping years. Filled with their blood. You must use wisdom to dispose of him, and let him enjoy the days of peace."
Solomon remembered it all at once. After explaining other things, David was very hardworking and no longer spoken. Soon after, David died in bed. Solomon cried and buried his father in the city of David.
Thus David finished his legendary life:
When he was a child, he was cherished by the Holy Spirit by the Holy Spirit, and he was anointed according to the position of the king. When he was young, he relied on the faith of God to kill the giant Goliath in one stone, and the name was shocked. After being killed by his father-in-law, he was chased and killed for more than ten years. After he became a king at the age of thirty, he conquered the neighboring countries and determined to build a temple for God. He committed a major crime after middle age, but he sought God's forgiveness. Although he suffered repeated civil strife in his later years, he never lost his hope for God. He has been king for forty years, and his character is distinct. He left the handed down poems into the Bible and was sung by future generations. God also made a covenant with him personally, and promised that his descendants would be kings forever and ever. The son of David has since become Israel's hope, to this day.
However, after Solomon’s death, Solomon remembered his father’s last words and made great efforts to improve his country’s status. On this day, he sat in the palace and suddenly reported his mother to Bathsheba for advice. Solomon hurried away from the seat, let her mother sit on her right, and asked her to come. Bathsheba said: "I have a small matter to ask for, please do not deny."
Solomon said: "Mother please, I will not deny."
"Please give Jabesha to your brother Adonijah as his wife."
Solomon listened, and he was shocked, but he did not change his face and asked his mother, "Where does the mother say this?"
Bathsheba explained: "Your brother Adonijah found me a few days ago and said to me: 'You know that the throne should have been returned to me, and the whole country has looked forward to it. Unexpectedly, the throne returned to my brother Solomon. It is God's will. Now the father is gone, please ask the king to give me Yabisa as a wife. If you personally ask for the king, he will not deny."
Solomon heard this and looked at his mother's face seriously. She saw that she was really sincere and couldn't help but leave her seat. She changed her color: "He wants to get Jabissa, he is still licking this throne! Joab is not assisting him. Come on! Come on!"
An ancient case that requires genetic technology
Although Solomon was young, he immediately felt the sinister temperament of Adonijah’s scheme: he pleaded with his mother to show his love for him, and he looked like a little family, but he was a sword, and he intended to be Pei Gong. Once he got his father’s life. Close to the scorpion Jabissa, you can let the people of the world see that he has inherited Wang Zun, and he has gathered the minions. His father’s bones are not cold, so he is so openly provocative!
When it breaks, it will be chaotic. Although Solomon was young, the throne was still consolidating, but he immediately made the most important decision to become a queen: Solomon immediately sent the banned army governor Bienna, and went to kill Adonija.
When Benjamin took the lead, he soon returned to his life and Adonijah was killed. The court officials, shocked the news. Solomon also summoned Abiathar, the priest of Adonijah, and said to him, "You are involved in the rebellion, sin is damned, but I read that you have carried the ark of the Lord Jehovah before my Father, and I have been with my father. If you are in trouble, you will spare your life. But you no longer have the priesthood, go back to your hometown and go to the old age."
Abiathar’s father helped David to escape and was killed by Saul. Only Abiathar escaped his life and went to David alone. He followed David’s southern war in his life and participated in the rebellion of Absalom. But the evening is not guaranteed, and the end of humiliation. This also fulfilled God's prophecy to his ancestor ancestors 150 years ago: "I promised to let your family be my priest forever. But now the Lord declares that this is absolutely impossible. Respect me, I will Respect; despise me, will be despised. Look, time will come, I will end the power of you and your family, your family will have no one to end."
The main criminal was shackled, and the murderer was sent. Solomon began to clean up the Joab in accordance with his father's teachings. Joab did not think that Solomon's counterattack was so fast that he had no chance to gather the ministry, just as Adonijah had just fled into the tabernacle of God and seized the corner of the altar. He had just established a firm foothold, and Bianja, who had been chasing him, had come to order and said to Joab, "The king ordered you to come out!" Joab was afraid of the martial arts of Binaah, and he had to delay and procrast: "No, I am going to die here." Bianja did not dare to make a meeting in the tabernacle, but had to go back and tell Solomon. Solomon's life was better than Najag. Benaiah returned to the tabernacle and took the sword and killed Joab under the altar. Joab’s mighty life, but he was helpless, he did not hesitate to murder his own colleagues twice, and he eventually died.
Solomon decisively settled the internal chaos, made a name for himself, and the people of the country returned to the country. Zhoubang countries had a good tribute. When Solomon saw that the four borders were stable and the country was rich and strong, he thought of another great thing that his father had entrusted before his death: to build a temple for God. He learned from the elders that although David had already ushered in the ark of the covenant, the altar that Moses built in the wilderness was still set up in Gibeon. Solomon then took the hundred officials to Gibeon, and looked at the original and design dimensions of the tabernacle of Moses, and slaughtered thousands of cattle and sheep, and burned them to the Lord God on the bronze altar in accordance with the sacrificial procedures prescribed by the law.
Solomon rested in Gibeon that night, and Gibeon was soaring in the ground and the air was refreshing. After the night, the stars were quiet outside. The Solomon was so tired from the daytime that he was tired, and soon fell asleep, and gradually entered the dream, as if he had entered another world, and suddenly saw Jehovah God to him. Appeared and asked Solomon: "What do you want? Just ask me."
Solomon meditated for a moment and answered God, "My God, Lord, thank you for letting the servant inherit the throne of my father David, but the servant is still young and ignorant, and does not know how to govern the country. The servant lives in the people you choose. They are innumerable. Please give me wisdom and be able to distinguish between right and wrong, otherwise how can I govern your many people?"
Hearing God smiled and said to Solomon: "It is rare that you have this wish, not seeking wealth, honor, longevity, or seeking to destroy your enemies, but only seeking wisdom and knowledge, so that I can give you management. In this way, I will not only give you wisdom and knowledge, but also give you unprecedented wealth and honor." After saying this, God hides.
Solomon woke up suddenly, the night was still lingering, and the silence was still there. The dream was still in front of him. God actually talked directly with himself. This is a miracle that his father David had never experienced in his life. Solomon could not help but fear and lean over. Worship the Lord.
With the promise of God, Solomon was eager to return to Jerusalem, to sacrifice again in front of the Ark of the Covenant, and to feast the ministers and distribute them to the people to build the temple. The people of the country were also dispatched in turn.
On this day, Solomon sat in the palace, and some people reported a strange case. No one could break it and had to present it to Solomon. Solomon ordered the two parties to bring the court to the church, and saw two young women crying and crying. When Solomon recognized the costumes of their nieces, they let them complain about the case.
One of the prostitutes cried without a word, and choked and said: "Well, we live together in a house to make a living. I gave birth to a child a few months ago. She also produced a child three days later. She woke up in the middle of the night a few days ago. When I found out that I had crushed my child, she didn’t say anything, but took me to sleep, took my child, and put her dead baby on my bed. I woke up and found that she had changed her child. She swears at me. The mother doesn't recognize her child, oh..."
Solomon had not asked, and the other woman had already interrupted the other side, and repeated almost the same rhetoric while crying. The two of them hyped up, slowly hysterical attack, crying and shouting. When the officials were seen, they were numb, but they were inconsistent.
Solomon did not observe the two for a long time, and he could not see who was lying. He was in a dilemma, and suddenly the baby boy held by the guards burst into tears. The two women were shocked by the cry of the baby boy and turned to look at the baby boy. Solomon saw everything in his eyes, and suddenly he gave birth to a plan, and loudly ordered the guards to say: "You have to get a quick knife."
Why did the Holy Spirit enter the temple?
A guard was ordered to take out a sharp knife. Above the court, Solomon’s chest was well-founded, and he looked at the two tearful prostitutes in front of them. They stopped crying and turned to look at the crying baby boy on the guard’s hand. They reached out to the baby and turned to look at Solomon. He allowed one of them to take the child away.
Solomon signaled that they were quiet, pointing to the guards holding the sharp knife, and said to them loudly: "Since you are arguing over who is the mother of this baby boy, I have to do this: I want this soldier to divide this baby boy into two. Cut the two halves and give you two and a half, so it’s fair.” Solomon finished, and looked at them both.
A woman's voice trembled: "Well, please don't do this. Give this child alive to her."
After she finished, she looked at the child and looked at the other woman, tears.
Another woman sneered and said: "Neither of us wants to get this child, Wang, please cut him in half."
Solomon saw everything in his eyes and said to the minister and the guards: "This first woman is the child's mother, and she will return the child to her because she will not have the heart to let her child die."
He turned his head and said to the woman who was cheating: "If you do this evil, the elders must punish you according to the law."
This matter quickly spread throughout the country, and the people heard it, and they were shocked that Solomon had such wisdom to break this strange case and could not help but fear the God he believed in.
Solomon received the wisdom of God, plus the father's genes, the songs of the songs, the writing of three thousand rumors, and one thousand poems.
His reputation spread throughout the country. Countries have sent envoys to settle with Israel, and every year they tribute and bow down to the court. Egypt and other countries will marry their own princess to Solomon and become an in-law.
Solomon also established a priest, and made a hundred officials, and received the nations to make the people flow in the palace. Every day, they need to consume six thousand kilograms of fine noodles, ten strong cows, one hundred fat sheep, and countless poultry. The twelve tribes are supplied on a monthly basis. At this time, Israel is rich and strong, and there are many people who are born and raised.
In the fourth year after Solomon became king, the time was ripe and everything was ready, so he officially announced to the world that he would start construction of the temple.
At this time, Moses took Israel out of Egypt, and it has quietly passed for 480 years. Jehovah God led Israel from the slave country to the heyday. Solomon inherited the 3,450 tons of gold, 34,500 tons of silver and countless copper and iron that his father David had prepared for the temple. David also left the various design drawings of the temple to Solomon. Solomon accumulates extra gold and silver for various expenses. He collected 30,000 workers and took turns to go out to Lebanon for logging in three shifts. The cedars and pines were transported by rafts to the Israeli coast. Another 80,000 workers went up the quarry and cut the stone into a smooth finished product in the quarry. Another 70,000 workers transported wood and stone to the temple site in Jerusalem.
According to David's design, the temple is made up of large stones and seams. The hall is covered with cedar wood, and various flowers and trees are carved on it. It is nine meters wide, 27 meters long and 13 meters high. It is divided into three sections. The outermost section of the south is a four-and-a-half-meter deep porch decorated with two ten-meter-high copper columns. In the middle of the temple is an inner temple with a length and height of thirteen and a half meters. There are five golden lampstands and five pie tables on the left and right. The most important thing is the most holy place with a length, width and height of nine meters.
The inner walls of the Holy of Holies are all covered with gold. Twenty tons of gold are used. On the ground, there is a statue of the cherubim that opens the wings. The width and height are four and a half meters. They are carved from olive wood and all are covered with gold. In this way, each cemetery touches the wall with one wing tip, and the other wing tip touches each other to protect the ark under the wing. This ark was made by Moses, and was passed down from generation to generation. The two sons of Eli were taken away by the Philistines and then David was greeted by Jerusalem.
At the southern end of the temple, there is a bronze altar with a length and width of nine meters and a height of four and a half meters for the sacrifice. On the east side of the altar, there is a round-shaped copper sea with a diameter of four and a half meters and a length equal to the radius. It consists of four groups of twelve copper cattle, which can store 66,000 liters of water for the sacrifice of the sacrifice. There are also ten copper basins, which are placed on the east and west sides of the temple from the south to the north for cleaning sacrifices. The yard and the wall are all paved by bluestone. The courtyard is divided into two courtyards inside and outside. The temple is located in the inner courtyard.
Solomon and his life technicians created various sacred objects dedicated to the sacrifices, such as the Golden Light Golden Bowl, the Copper Pot Copper Shovel, the Firecracker Fire Ding, etc., all of which were placed in the treasury of the temple and registered by a special person.
After seven years of construction, the Sukkot Festival was completed in July, and the temple was completed. Solomon led the priests, the elders, the officials, and the people, and greeted the ark from the tabernacle of the temple to the sanctuary in the temple. After all the sacred objects in the temple were placed, all the people left the temple, and the bathing priests sacrificed on behalf of the people on the altar. Hundreds of musicians sang on the east side of the altar, drums, playing the piano, trumpeting, and The band sang in unison:
"God's beauty is incomparable, and God's love endures forever."
After the music was finished, Solomon solemnly walked up to the temple and prayed and said: "Lord of the Lord, though you live in the hidden secrets of Miyun, I have built a magnificent temple for you. May you live forever."
The voice was not finished, and the temple was covered with colorful clouds, rolling up and down, sparkling with dazzling light. The glory of the Lord is full of the temple.
